To celebrate the 450th title in the Men-at-Arms series, this book
examines in unprecedented depth the units and the uniforms of a
still-controversial army: the many thousands of American colonists who
chose to fight for King George during the Revolution. As well as the
better-known corps from the Atlantic seaboard, the author covers the
units raised for service against the Spanish in the Floridas, the
Caribbean islands and Central America. The text is illustrated with
portraits, photographs of rare surviving artefacts, and with color
reconstructions by Gerry Embleton, the respected expert on 18th
century American forces whose work has been exhibited in the
Smithsonian Institute. A fascinating overview of a forgotten piece of
history, this is the story of the American volunteers for the British
cause during the American Revolutionary War.
